only tired men can sleep and never knew
until the morning how hard the mattress
was, and the shaving stuffed pillow was as
soft to our weary heads as one OF down.
When the stage came we gave our host and
friends goodbye and climbed in. For twelve
miles the snow came so thick and fast one
could not see the front mules, 1--WE drove four
and changed every fifteen miles. The flakes
were as large as the palm of my hand. Then
IL changed to rain and Oh how 1t poured. At
each station we would get out, dry our blan-
kets and then at the drivers call wrap them
about us over head and ears and get into

TIE vote Of the Prohibition party is
becoming a very important factor in
politics. 1t already holds the balance
Of power In several States, and upsets
the calculation Of both Democrats and
Republicans as 10 the results Of the
elections. In 1880 the prohibition vote
was about II, 1000; In 1882, about IS 900;
in 1884, $50, 900; in 1885, about 10000.
And no one who keeps posted In the

growing at the present time at most
rapid rate. What effect this vote will
have on the Presidential contest next
year no one can foretell.

should be made early this week. Since then the

not at all disposed to help Mr.. Randall out Messrs

the republicans from the "weaker districts OF the
west" have resolved II forced to choose between the
